iClone, You Clone: iClone Reborn
“Whether you plan to use it as a production tool for your films, interactive media, websites, or previsualization, iClone will surely make your life easy in a lot of ways.” - Sergio Rosa, Renderosity

Last month Reallusion released iClone 2.0, the latest version of their acclaimed real-time animation software. If you’ve been following the program, you surely have realized how much it has grown since it was released a year ago (this is the third version in the one-year timeframe). For those that don’t know it yet, iClone is a real-time 3D animation tool that lets you quickly make your own short movies, music videos, and even teaching videos.

It includes a library of characters, scenes, props, and pretty much everything else you may need, letting you focus on the creative part rather than the technical part (rigging characters, scripting, setting up renders, etc). Just like Poser, iClone runs a marketplace where you can buy animation cycles, characters, scenes, and props that will fit all your needs.

We are excited to receive such a positive endorsement from someone like Chris because we know that with his influence, people who never considered creating Machinima will pick up our product and soon begin sharing their films with the world.”
